WASHINGTON CRITIC
sCANDAI-llONEERS.

Do you hear the scandal-mongers
Passing by,
Breathing poison In whisper,
In a sighY
Moving cautiously and slow,
Smiling sweetly as they go.
Never noisy-glillng smoothly as a snake
suppiDg here and sliding there
Through the meadows fresh and fair,
Leaving subtle shine aud poison in their
wake.
Saw you not the scandalmonger
AS she sat,
Beaming brightly meath the rose
On her hat9
In her dainty gloves and dress
Angel like, and nothing less,
Seemed she---casting smiles and pleasing
words about
Once she shrugged and shook her head,
Raised her eyes and nothing said,
When you spoke Of iiends, and yet 1t left
doubt.
Did you watch the scandal
At the ball;
Through the music, rhythm, beauty,
Light, and all
Moving here and moving there,
With whisper light as air,
Casting shadows on sister woman's fame
Just whispered word or glace-
As she noated through the dance,
And doubt forever hangs upon name.
You will find the scandal-mongers
Everywhcre;
Sometimes men, but often women,
Young and fair;
Yet their tongues drip foulest slime,
And they spend their leisure time
Casting mud on those who climb BY work
and worth
shun them, shun them as you GO
Shun them whether high or low;
They are but the cursed serpents of the earth.

lmtttttOuss
Six colored men, dressed in elegant
female attire, were arraigned in the

Lafayette, a colored messenger in the
Pension Office, No. 1il6 Fifth street.
The names OF the defendants are Bcnja
min, Daniel and Dorsey Swan, Ed.
Williams, William johnson and Charles
Meyers.
They nearly all had on low neck and
short sleeve silk dresses, several of them
with trains. They ali wore corscts,
bustles, long hose and slippers, and
everything that goes to make a female s
dress complete. One OF them had on a
pink satin Mother Hubbard, trimmed
with fur, long wig and bangs and
pink hose, and old gold slippers, bogus
diamond earrings and breastpins, and
pearl necklace. The lace on their
skirts was very heavy, and apparently
of good material
The raid was made by Detective 5
Raft, Horn, Carter and Mahon, aud
Sergeant Hollinberger, and the reserve
of the Eighth Precinct. The house
was nicely furnished, and the ball was
In full blast when the officers arrived,

house, followed by large crowd.
They each got three months on the
farm.

Claims Made by an English School

Teacher On Empress Eugenie.
New YoRK, Jan. I5.-The Times
Paris correspondent telcgraphs the
substance of the written statement of
Miss Charlotte Watkins, the young
Englishwoman who claims to have
been the mistress Of the late Prince
Imperial and to have borne him son.
Miss Watkins is now a school.teacher
in Australia. She met the Prince In
October, 1877, while travelling on the
railway between Buckley and Victoria.
He gave her an assumed name aud
promised to see her again, which he
did frequently. lie tried to keep his
identity secret, but she discovered Il.
AT one time he exclaimed to her:
Never humble me by mentioning the
son of Napoleon III. to me. | have no
element of greatness In me. am not
worthy to be Emperor of France"
Miss Watkins does not ask for money,
but in justice TO her child she reveals
the secret. The Empress Eugenie is
impressed by the story. and has ,ele.
graphed the Due dc MOnchy to make q
strict investigation. Miss Watkins has
several notes, undoubtedly in the
Princes handwriting. The hoy is said
TO be the image of his reputed sire, and
there are sundry strong influences In
shadow behind him,

The hncni Stncis Market.

Summary Of the local market furnished
by Crane, Paris & Co, bankers, 1871 +
street: After n delay of somewhat longer
duration than is usual at this season, the
market begins to show favorable signs OF
improvement and general activity. The
trading In bonds is confined to skies OF 1891,
round amounts of which were taken by In
vestors at ll0s and same closed at 10 bid.
In 3.G5s there is great strength and lots, in
any amount, are easily marketed at from l2l
to l2ll The bonds of the Washington
and Georgetown Railroad Company are OF.
fered at llG, but several sales at some
what lower figure were made during last
week. Metropolitan sold or and is offered
at about 20. The determination Of the man
ayers OF this road to at least partially equip
II for the great and increased travel meets
the approval not only of the public but OF
the stockholders, who, We think, need not
be too quick to assume that reduction of
dividends is at all necessary In order to
meet the expenses incident to the transfor-
nation Of the "bob-tail' into a lrst-class
| line.
Gas stock during the week advanced /
| per cent to 3Sl and sold In moderate lots at
| ISL. Any action which Congress may take
stems to have been pretty well discounted
| and no amounts, large or small, are pressed
| for sale. Indeed the latter part of the
| week there seems quite firm demand on
investment orders. The books of the gas
company close to-day, aud the usual divi-
| dend oil 80 cents per share has been declared,
| ayable February /.
There is little doing in insurance shares.
| National Uuion Is in demand at 20l, with
22 asked. Potomac holds firm at 81 TO IS
| bid; and Riggs inactive, at 81 bid.
Washington Market stock Is dull beyond
| precedent, the stock being continuously Of
chine, at 1873 bid, is very firm, and none is
| offered.
The only sales in bank shares were of Ma
| tional Bank of the Republic, In which
there was rather free selling Of several
small lots at 1901.
Telephone shares, always active when
there is any buoyancy in the market, show
good Improvement Pennsylvania sold iu
| small amounts at Al and closes IL bid and
| i3 asked. Chesapeake and Potomac ad-
vanctd ! per cent to S5g, and numerous
lots were marketed at S5l and $50. Tue
books OF this company also close to-day
the dividend sOf ,l..5 per share being pay
able January n. Light Infantry 2is
brought So, and there is fair bidding at 81
for them. The sale of these bonds will
| probably make from this time on some ac-
| tivity In them.
We believe that each succeeding week
will demonstrate fresh activity In District
| bonds and stocks, and that now at this sea-
son, while tine attention of the investing
| public is considerably detracted from real
estate, a reasonable advance may therefore
| be expected In those prime Investment
| payers, In which there has been no recent
| or considerable upward movement.

No RcvoIts Of the knights.

NEWARK, n. j., Jan. l5.--In the course
of his speech here last night Mr.. Powderly
said there had been no revolts OF the knights
at Chicago. No such action was taken In
any Of the assemblies. "The reports to that
effect were manufactured by men outside
who wanted such revolt, because in the
last election we struck down our enemies In
both parties. We left Morrison at home in
Illinois on one side and Gllilan ia Min

gress or Legislature we will watch and vote

Irving Tic tlnr-Iars.

To-day's session of the Police Court was
largely devoted to trying burglars. John

was committed in default of bail.
John I. Dunbar aud William Green were
also held for robbing the house of Catherine
Carroll, on Thirty-ilfth street.

The Poor Littic Oncs.

We often see children with red eruptons
on face and hands, rough, scaly skin, aud
often sores on the head. In the growing
period children have need Of pure bl ood, by
which TO build up strong and healthy bodies.
If DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is given, the blood is purged Of its bad ele-
ments, and the child's development win be
healthy, and as 1t should be. Scrofulous
affections, rickets, fever sores, hip Joint dis
ease or other grave maladles and suffering
are sure to result from NJ glcct and lack OF
proper attention TO such cases.
